BOBIBIN-IFIOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec;3, 1912.

Application filed November 30. 1908. Serial No. ;l-l.,391.

Toall whom it may concern: Be it known that L-BURT A. PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and I State of Illinois, have invented certain new Jumping of the bobbin due to irre ulari-. ties in the form of the yarnmass t ereonand to the unyielding character of the bobbin holder, has heretofore limited the speed at which the yarn may be unwound.

One of the objects of this invention is; to provide a bobbin-holder which shallbe capable of yielding to conform to any irregularities in the shape and size of the yarn mass, whereby contact 'of' the irregularities upon the rapidly rotating yarn mass with the holder is cushioned, and excessive jumping of the bobbin prevented Another object is to provide a bobbinholder from which the spent bobbin may be easily and quickly ejected.

. A further object of the invention is to simplify and cheapen the cost of devices of this class. I

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a top plan view of a bobbin-holder em bodying the features of my invention Fig. 2 is a side elevation of said bobbin-holder, as arranged upon a spooling frame. Figs. 3 and 4 are front end Views, Fig. 3 representing arbobbin being. unwound, and Fig.

4 showing an empty bobbin being ejectedfrom the bobbin-holder.

The embodiment herein shown of my invention comprises a bracket 1 which may be provided with any suitable means for securing itin' place upon a spooler or other machine. The means herein shown for mounting the, bobbin-holder consists of the clamping jaw 2 and the set screw 3, A indicating the ordinary supporting bar of a spooler frame. To the upper end of the bracket 1 are fixed two parallel arms at which support a loop of flexible material to form'a holder or pocket 5 for the bobbin. Said pocket may be formed from cloth or other suitable material, the cloth being 100 ed over the arms 4 as indicated at 6 (Fig. 3), and the over-lapping portions being secured by sewing or in any other suitable manner. The outer ends of the arms 4 may be bent slightly, as indicated in the drawings, to retain the pocket upon said and rear ends, the bobbin being inserted through the forward end of thepocket and the portion 1 of the bracket 1 forming a backstop for the bobbin.

In the embodiment which has been se lected for illustration, the yarn is unwound through the upper end of the pocket 5. To prevent the bobbin. from jumping out of the pocket, suitable means may be provided, such-as one or more arms 7 overhanging the pocket and extending substantially midway between and parallel with the arms 4. T we arms 7 may be used. as herein shown, in order that tension may be placed upon the yarn by causing it to pass upward.- between said arms, as indicated in Fig. 3. The outer ends 7 of the arms 7 may diverge, as shown, to form a guide for the insertion of the arms. The pocket- 5 is open at its forward thread between the arms 7 by the operator.

To obviate friction upon the bobbin, the

inner side of the pocket 5 "is preferably smooth, a result that may be obtained by making the pocket. of such material as tracing cloth, muslin coated with oxidized linseed oil, etc. When the inner side of the pocket becomes worn, the pocketmay be drawn off the arms 4, reversed. and replaced upon said arms.

The material from which the pocket is constructedvbeing flexible. it will be evident that the lower end of said pocket will conform at all times to the periphery of the yarn mass upon the bobbin. The bottom and side walls of the pocket also accommodate fihemselves to irregularities in the contour of the yarn mass, whereby excessive jumping of the bobbin is prevented. and a. greatly increased spcjed of the spooling frame is rendered possible. I have found in practice that bobbins supported in bobbin-holders embodying my invention may be unwound at more than three times the speed practicablewith the bobbin-holders now in common use.

When the yarn upon the bobbin has been unwound, the operator ejects the bobbin from the pocket 5 by swinging said pocket laterally until the butt end of the bobbin has been carried to'one side of the backstop 1", whereupon the bobbin slides out of the pocket and may be received upon the belt conveyer comorrections in Letters Patent No. 1,045, 879.v
